Small Classes = Intimate Setting
Illinois Wesleyan originally drew me because of its small class sizes and amiable professors, who seemed more genuinely interested in the work of their students than research products. And the professors from my departments (Philosophy & Religion) are among the best around, coming from top notch universities. As an example, in my first semester, myself and two others went out to dinner with one of our professors. Overall, the professors are truly interested in getting to know their students. This intimate setting is a great way to make connections with your field and that is why I believe Wesleyan has an excellent reputation for placing its students in the best graduate programs in the nation.

The Library Is Awesome
Another one of the major draws for IWU is the Ames Library. It just opened in 2004 and it is truly awesome. It has plenty of computers for studying (and couches for napping!). While it does not hold as many books as other larger universities, it is affiliated with a program in which ~60 university libraries in Illinois can easily loan books to one another. This is a great service and I have used it many times.
